Limon, CO – Wednesday June 15, 2011
We got off to a slow start this morning. We decided to backtrack a little and visit the Cadillac Ranch which is west of Amarillo. Our camp ground was north of town. Leaving the routing to your GPS can sometimes be exciting as it was this morning. It took us on the main roads right through the middle of downtown, an experience we didn’t want to repeat again. On the way back we determined the route and forced the GPS to go where we wanted to which can sometimes be a chore. GPSs can really be hard headed, but wouldn't want to travel without.
The Cadillac Ranch was installed in 1974 and represents the Cadillac line from 1949 to 1963 tailfins and all. They are all buried nose first into the ground at an angle corresponding to the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt. Over the years, time has not been kind to the Cadillac's and they are now rusted hulks covered by thousands of layers of spray paint.
Then it was time for some serious driving to make some miles. Along the way, in Boise City, we stopped at a city park for a walk around break. EJ being a kid at heart just had to check out the slide.
It was pretty windy, but at least this time it was mostly from the rear so our MPG should have gotten a boost. The route we chose turned out to be popular with the truckers. “I think we got us a convoy!”
Pulled into the KOA in Limon, CO at 7:00PM Mountain Time.
